‘Since joining St Andrew’s School as peripatetic teacher of Speech and Drama in September 2015, Patsy has made invaluable contributions to our community. Through her enthusiasm and passion for sharing her love and knowledge of theatre and the performing arts, Patsy has vastly increased the number of pupils taking Speech and Drama lessons and her first set of LAMDA examination results reflect the high standard of teaching and preparation that she has delivered. In addition to this, Patsy has voluntarily supported the GCSE Drama groups, advising on their inclusion of physical theatre elements and she is currently choreographic sequences for her second school production…Staff and pupils alike appreciate Patsy’s positive, dynamic approach and find her fresh contemporary knowledge and professionalism to be an inspiration.’ – Suzi Stott, Head of Drama, St. Andrew’s School
